Time over the question Of whether or not
ensilage unfavorably affects the quality oil
butter. And men arc not lacking TO take
either side Of the debate. It seems pretty
clear, however, from the number of prscti.
cal ecientia!s who have expressed them
selves iaYorsbly to the use Of ersiage in

its aid. From the whole discussion it may
DO fairly deduced thatitis the too free use
Of preserved green crops that has in many
cases created the impression that 1t was
not suited to dairy food purposes. Fed
moderately, with hay end grain, and moi
made principal article Of diet, there il
every REASON to believe that 1t may be en-
plosed with advantage by the butter
